8.12.8 Causes of pain

The Buddha summarized the causes of our suffering as:

(1) ignorance (lack of ability to see what is right before your eyes; typically lack of ability to see the sacredness of yourself and all life...)
(2) caste (inequality - not seeing all life as equal)

(Normally I post quotes, but this one is my own words adapted from basic Buddhist teachings. May we reflect upon these today.)
